CMS HELP!

I have a customer that is requesting a website that will include the list below. Obviously, I will need to utilize a CMS. I have downloaded a template from Website Baker, but I don’t understand how to maneuver in it. I really don’t see where to begin. They only want access to the Blog, Calendar of Events and Photo Gallery. I was honest with them and told them that I have never worked with one of those sites and I feel that it is going to take me a while to learn it. Please help, because I don’t know PHP and that is what is in the markup. I hope that this makes sense to someone. Maybe I should try a WordPress Template, please advise.

Tips

What now? I have some ideas for you.

Go explore CodePen!

As a front end designer and developer, you should have an account on CodePen so you can save your snippets, present your ideas, and engage with other front end folk. I'd encourage you to go PRO as well, to unlock the full power of CodePen.

Get the newsletter!

You should sign up for the CSS-Tricks newsletter. It's a clean copy of all the blog posts each week, combined together, right to your inbox. If email isn't your thing, there is an RSS feed, iTunes, and lots of other ways to subscribe.
